Weekly Scaffold Inspection Checklist
This weekly scaffold inspection checklist helps construction teams verify scaffold safety and compliance. It covers access methods, stable footings with base plates and sole boards, bracing, full planking, board condition and security, cleanliness of platforms, vertical standards, correct couplings, guardrails and toe boards for edge and falling-object protection, level ledgers, secure ties, and ladder condition. The checklist ends with a clear pass or repair decision and sign-off fields for contractor, inspector name, and signature. Use it to document findings, record issues, and assign corrective actions to maintain safe, compliant scaffolds on site.

Scaffold Inspection Form
Use this scaffold inspection form to assess safety and compliance for roofing and construction projects. The checklist covers tag systems, purpose and duty loading, scaffold stability, distance to work face, guardrails and mid-rails, internal fall protection, face and transverse bracing, platform width and gaps, access and ladders, ties and rakers, and worker training. It guides actions when issues are identified, including disabling access, notifying the project manager or site foreman, and WorkSafe notification where required. Capture photos, record client and project manager details, document adjustments or damage, and sign off when the scaffold is safe to use.
